- Do not forsake your friend and the friend of your father, and do not go to your brother's house when disaster strikes you-- better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
- Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.
- The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
- Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.
- If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.

- A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day;
- restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
- He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
- As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.
